Racketeers for Life, go Joe Scheidler!

I am very pro-life but I do not think we should break laws when we protest. Nor do I think it saves any babies by foolishly vandalizing a legal business. (an immoral legal business, but still...)

Our energies should be put where they can actually do some good. Help pregnant women who need it. If they felt they had a compassionate alternative they might choose it and become a pro-lifer in the process. It's a "one baby saved at a time" plan. Focus on who can be saved, not the hopelessly immoral. An abortion clinic, NOW, et al.. are making WAY too much money off this industry to ever consider the facts.

Who thinks we can make a difference more by shouting in front of an abortion clinic or by helping out pregnant women who need it, and their babies when the time comes?

I think it is very interesting that in 1989, when Operation Rescue began their work, the number of abortions performed began to go down. The protests were damaging the business of abortion. Most of the people I know who participated were also working at the pregnancy centers handing out baby clothes, putting moms up in their homes and finding jobs for them jobs if they needed one.

Most of the vandalizing that is done to abortion property is done by the owners of those properties. An ATF agent told me that they know when the pro-lifers are at it because they always go for the suction machines. I asked him if they find many of those and he said no, they usually find things that are that the owner can claim easily claim on his insurance.

Like the environmentalists. I've read about planting Lynx hair and clubbing salmon to create a head count shortage. Also, a milliom mom marcher was one who gave a gun to a school shooter. Another million mom shot a person she "felt" hurt her own son.
Anything to play victim and help their cause.
Darn liberals.

President Bush, it is time to issue an EXECUTIVE ORDER BANNING ALL ABORTIONS. Do it TODAY!!!!!

Bush will sign an Executive Order Banning abortion the same day he signs Campaign Finance Reform, supports Amnesty for Illegal Aliens and calls for a State of Palestine.

[Saundra Duffy]

The high court will review whether the lower courts went too far in applying the federal Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act to anti-abortion activities.

One can only hope.

[jude24]

He has no legal authority to do so. The ball is in the Congress's court: the only legal means is a constitutional amendment.

[RAT Patrol]

Interesting. I didn't even think of that. I don't know why because the lying that goes on about abortion is amazing. Liberals are rabid about the subject.

[Campion]

What about laws that say "you can't protest against abortion"?

The case against Joe Scheidler amounts to saying, "Joe Scheidler protests abortion. Some abortion protests are violent, though we can't prove any involvement by Joe Scheidler or anyone who works for him in any of the violent protests. However, since Joe Scheidler protests abortion, and some abortion protests are violent, Joe Scheidler is a 'racketeer' who must be silenced."

[RAT Patrol]

Good point. I just meant in general. I made the mistake of taking the story at face value. I know the media lies about abortion more than anything else.

[RAT Patrol]

My goodness how hateful you are.

[George from New England]

To: Impeach Scalia Have you ever stopped to thank your mother for NOT having an abortion. It's my guess that you were born before 1973 when abortion was illegal. Otherwise, she might have made the choice that would not have you here with us today. Can't we thank God for the lives we all enjoy today and day after day...

[Brad’s Gramma]

Man, I sure hope, IF YOU HAVE KIDS, that some pro-lifer saves their life if one of them runs out in the street. If it were a pro-choicer, well.....it's the kid's CHOICE to run out in the middle of the street, right?

[supercalifragilistic]

Is abortion not the death penalty? Without due process even?
